Swing Set Cardigan

It’s finished! Hailey’s purple cardigan is finally done and I love it. I have to say it, I can’t believe I made this! This is the first clothing item I have crocheted besides a hat. The pattern from Linda Permann’s Little Crochet pattern book was awesome.

It’s basically crocheted in one piece except for at the end you go back and add a row to the sleeves and the edge down the middle.

I used Caron’s Simply Soft yarn so it’s really soft and also kind of shimmery. The yarn is just beautiful.

Now I can’t wait to try more of Linda’s patterns. I’m not sure which one I will do next but I’m sure I’ll love it!
